Why Doesn't Servant Keeper make accounting software?

Servant Keeper focuses on making software that helps churches care for their members (Servants—yes, that’s where the name comes from)! By staying focused on what we do best, we know we can better serve you. Many churches have switched to Servant Keeper because their “accounting” program from another vendor ended up being a poor solution.

Most CPAs agree that, for security purposes, accounting information, bank information, and general ledger data should be managed separately from donors’ giving information. General ledger data includes payroll, financing, property taxes, and other sensitive information that only a few people should access. In contrast, donor information needs to be accessed and managed by more staff and volunteers. Donors should also receive regular updates about their giving and have the ability to easily give online and review their giving as needed. Because of these considerations, it is highly recommended that donor data be managed separately from your accounting/ledger data.

The good news is that surveys have shown that more churches use QuickBooks® for accounting than any other program—and they love it! When you switch to Servant Keeper for tracking donations and pledges, you can continue using QuickBooks or whatever accounting program you prefer without disrupting how your accountant manages your books. This is just one of the many reasons why thousands of churches each year are switching to Servant Keeper for their church contribution software.
